Rihanna Calls Someone a 'Silly Boy'
Hmm. We guess they may really be broken up for good.
While Rihanna has yet to comment on the alleged horrific beating she received from ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, it appears that she's expressing herself the best way she knows how. Rihanna has just recorded a new track called "Silly Boy" with Kanye West and Lady GaGa, and it seems to be all about her controversial ex.
It's not any of their best work, but the lyrics are what we're interested in.
"You comin with those corny lines
Can't live without me
I'll get some flowers for the day that you are buried
No, people make mistakes
Only thing I want from you, is for you to (stay away)"
What do you think: Is RiRi over Chris for good?

Pretty much my favourite thread in the whole forum. It's nice to see you've put so much effort in to this, you must be very dedicated .
Whoops, misread the judgement, although it sounded pretty cool. I think the old Karthus lore had a lot to go with but I guess they needed more people for the Shadow Isles. Morde's lore definately could have come from there but I wish they would tie the new lore into the old lore...

We have black and Teal in limited sizes, so get here fast! $15 each!
Beer Selections list is now functional and the Top Drinkers list is updated!
The headline pretty much explains it all. Click BEER SELECTION to see what's in stock. Click on the 100 Beer Club and then click through on the following page to find the TOP DRINKERS list, which is back in business. For now it's not purty, and it'll be updated weekly rather than daily as we finish the automation, but it's there and up-to-date as of 12/08! Enjoy, relax, and have a beer. Or three.
Minor Improvement to the Beer Club Members and Numbers List
The Beer Club members list now has two versions, side by side. The list is ordered by number and also alpha by first (and then last) names. If you remember your number OR your name, you should be good to go!
List of Beer Club Members and Their Beer Club Numbers is Back Up
We're getting there.
On the 100 Beer Club page, we have posted all club members (except those having joined in the last few weeks) and their associated numbers; you can browse the list if you happen to have forgotten yours.
Work is heating up building the new version of the online database (events forced us to recreate all the online automation from scratch — though we have all the data itself). If you're wondering, the data set includes 2366 members; 2588 unique draft, bottle and cask beers; and well over 110,000 purchases of individual beers by beer club members.
We're still shooting for sometime later this month for full functionality, but we are far enough along that we are now catching up the data entry on all your receipts from the last month or so. When we get the automation back up to speed, all the interim data will already be there!
When we are back up and running, the interface will be fairly similar but with a few little bells and whistles to make your beer clubbing that much easier. More on that when the time comes.
Meanwhile, stick to those italic options on the beer list and all will be well.
Meet the Brewer of La Fin Du Monde, Trois Pistoles, Maudite, and More!
Unibroue is in the house this evening! La Fin Du Monde is The End of the World as we love it; have some and you'll feel fine. Get something signed for me while you're there; I'm gonna be stuck in Edgewood.
Learn more right over here.
Beer Week is Now!
Beer Week is here and our cavalcade of new draft beers continues! See the Beer Selection page for today's selections.
In other news, we've just fired up the Events calendar (see the main menu) and partially loaded it with Beer Week events. We'll have it fully loaded (hmmm, fully loaded….) by sometime tomorrow.
Work on the beer club part of the site continues to move forward. Don't blame Wayne, blame me. Who's me? I don't think I should tell you! But you can blame me anyway (call me Ishmael).
That said — and Wayne hasn't even heard this yet — I'm hoping to do an iPhone app version of beer club in 2012 and — who knows — maybe even Android. So keep drinking, trust that your choices are being logged by little elves in the crawl space above the second floor, and enjoy your beer!
– He That Shall Not Be Named, or Ishmael — Whichever….
The Beer Week Cometh
Baltimore Beer Week starts tomorrow! Highlights at Mahaffey's include a passport, the 3rd Annual Double Digit Beer Night (Saturday), Pints and Pancakes (Sunday starting at 10AM) and the Yards and Cards bus trip (Tuesday). Also on Tuesday, we will be pouring 7 (yes I said 7) brand new drafts from Sierra Nevada!!!! OMG!
Full details on ALL our frothy goodness are available through the Baltimore Beer Week link right up yonder on the main menu.
The dinner menu is live again.
The Dinner Menu is once again locked and loaded. All your favorites — and one new joke about avian aviation. Tuesday's up-to-date beer menu will be live before the sun sets.
Baltimore Beer Week
Baltimore Beer Week is filled with hundreds of events for beer lovers. Some of the best are coming here. Just click here to see all the malty goodness pouring forth from Mahaffey's.
Web Site Update
Mahaffey's 2.0 is coming along!
Our new web site will be improving daily from here on out. We continue working on building the new and improved beer club interface and expect it to go live later this month. The dinner menu, photos, party info, and a Mahaffey's Events Calendar will be going live here later this week — and maybe a few other surprises.
Meanwhile, we continue offering more new beers than ever before to keep you beer clubbers moving forward. Just check out the updated Beer Selection menu to see just how many beers are new to the Mahaffey's tap line.

Send Brent a message explaining your needs and you will receive a response by email. Have you already emailed Brent or another tutor? If so, you have an account! Sign in now
If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
I am a highly qualified math teacher. I have been teaching for 22 years in the area of Special Education. Although I have taught many different subjects over my career, I have a strength in teaching math. I currently teach Algebra 1 and Geometry at a local high school where I have been teaching for the past 18 years.
Over my teaching career, I have had the chance of working with many students one-on-one in a homebound situation and within resource classes. This provides me with the best chance to help a student, because I can teach to a student's strengths and weaknesses and work at their pace.
I have also taught in many co-teaching situations, which has allowed me to see other teachers' styles and methods. This provides me with many different ways to teach a concept. I am not a teacher who believes that you must do it one way or else. Except in certain situations, I feel it is okay to solve a problem any way, as long as the student truly understands how they get the answer.
I feel that as a Special Educator, I bring the ability to work with students of all levels. Whether you are a student struggling with math in general, or just stuck on a certain area, I have experience breaking things down into steps. This will allow most students to be able to comprehend concepts at their own pace. I will try to work with each student at their level, so that I can truly explain each concept in a way they understand. A big reason I want to tutor is that I will have a chance to help a student who may be struggling in math, who may even dislike math, and help guide them to where they are no longer struggling. My tutoring style depends on the student. I know that everyone learns in a different way, so you cannot work with everyone using the same methods.
With my experiences in education, both within the classroom and in a one to one situation, I feel that I have a lot to offer students of all levels and abilities. I am looking forward to sharing my expertise with students who need a little push in the right direction.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have worked for 21 years in the area of Special Education as a certified teacher. In this time, I have worked with many different students with ADD or ADHD, both within a classroom and one to one. I have experience on how to work with students who struggle with staying focused. I also understand that these students need to move around and are usually hands on learners.
I have taught Algebra 1 at a local high school for about 12 years. I know the curriculum and I am able to teach concepts in more than one way. I have had success teaching students of all different ability levels.
Working as a High School Special Education teacher for the last 21 years, I have been given the chance to work with several students who have been diagnosed with Aspergers. I am familiar with the difficulties many students have both socially and academically. I have patience and a willingness to help these students overcome their difficulties so they can be successful within school setting.
In my 21 years of teaching Special Education, I have worked closely with students on the Autism Spectrum. I know that no two students on the Spectrum are alike and that they have to be instructed according to their unique needs and abilities. I have worked with these students in my classroom and as a Teacher of Record, so I have worked with them on many different levels.
I have taught high school math for a long time. I work with Special Education students, so I have worked a lot on basic math skills. I understand the importance of knowing basic math skills in progressing in math. If a student struggles early on, they will struggle in higher level math.
I have taught Geometry at a local high school for about 10 years. I am able to teach most concepts in more than one way. Geometry is a subject many students struggle with because they try looking at it like any other math class. You need to look at geometry differently.
I taught Pre-Algebra for several years, before my high school stopped teaching it. I have taught algebra for the last 12 years. I have several ways that I can teach most concepts.
I have worked in Special Education as a teacher for 21 years. I have a Bachelor of Science in Special Education and am licensed in grades K through 12. I have worked with students who have many different special needs, including Specific Learning Disabilites, ADD/ADHD, Autism, Aspergers. I attended Purdue University, West Lafayette for my Bachelor's and have taken many Continuing Ed courses through Purdue University Calumet and Indiana Wesleyan.

Does Guitar Music Help Marijuana Plants Grow?
There have always been questions about if talking to your plants or playing music for your plants help them grow (check out this UCSB research), and there have been plenty of studies dedicated to finding out if it does. On an episode of Myth Busters, the guys tackled the question, and by the end of the episode, they had determined that playing music for plants, especially heavy metal, do help them grow.
Since the episode aired, some marijuana enthusiasts that grow their own plants have started playing music for their plants in an effort to help them grow faster. While the Myth Busters episode did prove that playing music helped plants to grow, there wasn't a very solid explanation as to why the music helps them grow.
As reported by mrvapo.com/ There was an article published by Science World Report, which provides a good explanation as to why the music helps the plants grow. They found that vibrations, which come from the music, enhance the efficiency of photosynthesis, the process that allows some bacteria and plants to turn sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into energy and oxygen.
The scientists extracted the photo system II reaction centers, which are located in the chloroplasts of plant cells, and are in a group of pigments and proteins that do the heavy lifting when it comes to photosynthesis, from some leaves. These photo system II reaction centers are also the only natural enzyme known to man that uses solar energy to split water into oxygen and hydrogen.
After extraction, the scientists use sequences of laser pulses that are carefully timed to match the speed of the reactions taking place, allowing them to take real time snapshots of the process. As a result of the experiment, the scientists found out that there were vibrational motions occurring during the charge separation.
According to Jennifer Ogilvie, one of the researchers in the study, when the gaps in the energy levels are close to a vibrational frequency, there is an enhanced charge separation. This discovery essentially explains why music helps plants to grow, because the vibrations are speeding up the process of photosynthesis, it also makes a lot of sense that heavy metal seems to be the most effective, because it probably has the most vibrations of any genre of music, due to the loudness of the instruments they use.
It is still unknown if marijuana plants prefer stone music to regular music, but one thing is for sure; if you want your plants to grow fast, start playing them some music regularly.…
10 Best Songs To Listen to When Paintballing
The availability of portable mobile devices has allowed us to listen to music anywhere we are, which is pretty cool. A lot of people listen to music when they are working out or going for a jog, because it keeps them motivated, and the same thing applies to paintball. When you play paintball, after a while you start to get tired, but when you are listening to certain songs, you can get an extra burst of energy that will help you finish the game strong. Here is a list of the 10 best songs to listen to when you are playing paintball. If you like acoustic guitar, we have an awesome list of motivational guitar songs below.

Guitar Players Are More Popular With Females
For a long time, it was always assumed that women found musicians more attractive than regular men, and now, there are studies that confirm the theory. In a study conducted at Universate de Bretagne-Sud, a physically attractive 20 year old man was sent out to hit on 300 women, using a script that was given to him. 31 percent of the women he hit on when he was holding a guitar gave him their number, compared to 14 percent when he wasn't carrying anything. When he was carrying a gym bag, he only got the phone numbers of 9 percent of the women he hit on.
In another study published at JackedGorilla, Facebook friend requests which read "Hey, what's up? I like your photo," were sent out to college age women, the profile with a the man strumming a guitar got three times the request acceptance rate as a picture of the man without the guitar. The reverse of the study was conducted, but it didn't make a difference to men if the woman had a guitar or not.
The results of this study beg the question of what exactly makes women more attracted to men who play the guitar? The researchers in France had a theory that playing music is associated with intellectual and physical abilities, which females believe are good qualities in a prospective partner or mate.
The ability to play a guitar also implies that the man has a strong work ethic, because it takes a lot of time and patience to learn how to play the guitar. Another theory is that seeing a man with a guitar case projects the image of successful musicians, which puts the concepts of status and wealth in the woman's mind.
The best explanation for why women are more attracted to guitar players is given in a paper published by John Manning and Vanessa Sluming, two researchers who provided evidence of a link between musical ability and testosterone. They believe that testosterone enhances the growth of the right hemisphere of the brain, which facilitates musical ability.
According to http://jackedgorilla.com, there is still a lot of research to be done on this subject, because there are still a lot of unanswered questions, like if the female's attraction to a man who plays a guitar is a short or long term deal. The one thing that every man needs to know for now is that the ability to play a guitar increases their attractiveness in the eyes of women, which is a good reason to start taking some guitar lessons.…
Flyleaf's New Album, Between The Stars
Alternative rockers Flyleaf have dominated the charts since they made their debut in 2005 with their self titled album, which went platinum. They recently announced the release of their new album "Between the Stars," which will be the group's first album since the departure of their lead vocalist Lacey Strum, in 2012.
When Strum's decision to step down as the lead vocalist of the band was announced, the band also announced that Kristen May would be taking over as lead vocalist, and she has been with them since, touring with the band, she was also the lead vocalist on "Something Better," the single the band released in 2013.
The new album is produced by Don Gilmore, who has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, like Pearl Jam and Linkin Park, and it has 12 tracks.
Guitarist Jared Hartmann, recently sat down and discussed the band's newest album, he acknowledged that the new album is a little different from the band's three previous albums, because they have a new vocalist. He also said that the album is different musically because they used a lot of keyboards, which adds an interesting element to some of the songs on the album. The album is still going to be similar to what their fans are used to, but it will also be going in a different direction.
When asked about how the band connected with new singer Kristen May, he said that aster Strum decided to leave the band, someone suggested that they check May out. Luckily for the band, May's former band Vedera had recently broken up, when she came in for the audition, she knew all their songs, and was cool to hand out with, which made her perfect for the job.
According to Hartmann, the writing process for the new album was very simple, the group got together for a week for writing sessions, which were very successful, because all the songs on the album came from the writing sessions. The band also enjoyed working with Don Gilmore on the album, because Gilmore is a very laid back person, who is hands on, and really into the music.
Growing up, Hartmann was around music, but didn't really have a passion for it, because he was more into video games, when he got to middle school, his parents wanted him to learn how to play an instrument, so he tried his hands at drums, the saxophone, clarinet, and trumpet, but non of those instruments really fit him. Later on, his mother suggested he try the guitar, which he tried and took some lessons. By the time he got to high school, he started going to see bands, and get into music more, which was around the time he and band mate Sameer became friends, seeing the bands inspired him, and he started playing more, and playing the guitar quickly became his passion.
When it comes to how the band got together, Hartmann said he and Sameer had their own band, while Lacey was playing acoustic in coffee shops, and James was playing the keyboard in another band. When their bands broke up, Lacey and James got together and started writing their own songs, then Lacy invited him to come play guitar for them, and he brought Sameer along with him. After that, they hooked up with pat, and went on the road to perform.
Hartmann says he is very excited about the new album, but is more excited to hit the road and interact with their fans once again.…

Beautiful blonde Amanda Seyfried wore this violet floral style from Prabal's Spring 2012 collection to the L.A. premiere of her film, In Time.
Sure, it's next to impossible for Alessandra Ambrosio to look anything less than perfect. But in this scarlet gown from Fall 2011 at June's CFDA Awards, she's positively radiant.
Never a fashion wallflower, Sarah Jessica Parker slipped into a purple lamé look from Prabal's spring collection for the Melbourne premiere of I Don't Know How She Does It.
Lovely young actress Jennifer Lawrence attended the AFI Awards back in January wearing this snowy scuba sheath from Prabal's Spring 2011 line. We love how the snug fit and graphic turquoise streaks show off her curves.
Demonstrating the everlasting appeal of lace, SJP wore a black-and-white dress printed with the romantic fabric at the Moscow photocall of I Don't Know How She Does It.
Demi Moore hit the red carpet at the Met Gala in May wearing this ostrich feather-embellished black gown. Pairing it with a dramatic Philip Treacy fascinator, Moore takes the concept of black tie dressing to a whole new level.
The young'uns love Gurung as well. When rising star Hailee Steinfeld wore this gorgeous ivory Prabal gown to the Golden Globes, she instantly caught the style industry's eye.
At November's 45th Annual Country Music Awards, actress Ginnifer Goodwin selected a multi-tiered Prabal dress with floral appliqués.
SJP favors Prabal for less formal occasions, too. For a September appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman, she picked this two-tone duo of separates from Fall 2011.
At the CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in November, Amanda Seyfried looked gorgeous and glowing in this drop-waist ivory dress. So Gatsby-esque and glamorous.
There's nothing like a runway legend to cement one's status as a major-league designer. Check out Iman in this Spring 2011 neon ensemble at the Gordon Parks Foundation awards dinner back in June.
At the Q Award in London in October, buzzed-about songstress Lana Del Rey wore a floral resort look to accept her "Next Big Thing" honors.
In what we consider one of the year's best examples of minimalist dressing, Rose Byrne wore this draped-back Prabal pencil dress to the L.A. premiere of her comedy Bridemaids. We love how the leather waistband and staps perfectly offset Rose's super-sharp brunette bangs.
At the Vanity Fair Oscar Party last spring, Zoe Saldana hit all the right notes in this red and ruffled number from Prabal's Fall 2011 collection. Saldana's been a fan of Gurung's since he first hit the fashion scene.
Well, at least there's no question that Parker really does love her Prabal. Here she is again wearing the designer for a London photocall; this time around, she chose a beautiful floral piece from the Resort 2012 collection.
We may have already featured Shailene Woodley as a Lucky Star, but we honestly can't get enough of this textured black-and-white ensemble she wore to a recent Hollywood Reporter breakfast.
At last week's premiere of her film, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara looked svelte and stunning in a black Spring 2012 look with sheer inserts.

Air pollution (Latvia)
Why should we care about this issue
- Topic
- Air pollution
Improving air quality is one of the main priorities of Latvia's environmental policy[1]. Air pollution has a significant impact on human health. In 2000, it was estimated that fine particle (PM2.5) air pollution reduced life expectancy by 4–6 months[2] and, as such, was the greatest risk to public health in Latvia.
In Latvia, the impact of air pollution on ecosystems mainly relates to an excess of the nutrient nitrogen in the form of ammonia and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants can disrupt plant communities and leach into fresh water, leading to eutrophication, a loss of biodiversity and the production of ground-level ozone resulting in physical damage and the reduced growth of agricultural crops, forests and plants.
- Air protection in Latvia, information from the Ministry of the Environment
- Air pollution in Europe 1990–2004, European Environmental Agency Report No 2/2007.
The state and impacts
Exceedance of air quality limit values in urban areas
Particulate matter (PM10)
Preliminary data for the centre of the capital city, Riga, from 2004 to 2008 indicate that the mean annual concentration of PM10 exceeds the limit value for the protection of human health. Meanwhile, at urban and rural stations throughout Latvia limit values for human health protection were not exceeded (Figure 1).
Several of the recorded 24-hour PM10 values in Riga and Liepaja were also above the limit value (Figure 2).

Figure 2: Number of days on which the PM10 daily limit value for human health protection (50 μg/m3) was exceeded (limit may not be exceeded more than 35 times per calendar year).
Source: Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre
Latvia began measuring PM2.5 in 2008 in the Riga metropolitan area, at Milgravis and Brivibas Street stations and at other stations across Latvia (Ventspils and Liepaja).
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
Annual average limit values of nitrogen dioxide for human health protection in Latvia were only exceeded at one traffic station in Riga (Valdemara Street). During 2008, nitrogen dioxide concentrations reached the limit value (44 μg/m3) for the protection of human health (within the margin of tolerance) (Figure 3).
Figure 3: Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) annual average concentration (annual limit value is 40 μg/m3)

Exposure of ecosystems to acidification, eutrophication and ozone
Deposition from the atmosphere is a major indicator of precipitation, ambient air quality and ecosystem status. Between 2004 and 2008, there was no significant change in the total deposition of sulphur and nitrogen at Latvian rural background stations (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Total deposition (mg/m2 year) of sulphur (Stot) and nitrogen (Ntot) at the rural background stations Rucava and Zoseni

The computed area at risk of eutrophication covers all ecosystems in Latvia, but the area at risk of acidification is 16 % of the total ecosystem area (Figure 5).

Assessment of the impact of surface ozone on vegetation using the internationally-recognised AOT40 index shows that the critical level (6 000 µg/m3×h) was exceeded at the Rucava rural background station in 2006 and 2008 (Figure 6). In 2006, observations of visible ozone damage to white clover under the ICP Vegetation programme registered a medium degree of leaf damage (5–25 %). During the period 2004–2008, there was no exceedance of the target value (18 000 µg/m3×h) for the protection of vegetation[1]
[1] Air Quality Annual Report 2008 (in English and Latvian)
The key drivers and pressures
In general, the fall in emissions during the 1990s was due to a decrease in total fuel consumption caused by the transformation of the national economy, increased energy efficiency and a switch from solid fuels and liquid fuels to natural gas and biomass fuels. In recent years, emission levels have remained relatively stable.
The energy sector is the main source of sulphur dioxide emissions in Latvia.
Domestic heating and the use of solvents and other products represent significant sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
The largest proportion of nitrogen oxide emissions originates from the transport sector (particularly road transport) and the number of registered motor vehicles per 1 000 inhabitants continues to increase (Figure 7).
Almost all NH3 emissions originate from agricultural activity.
Overall, air pollution decreased between 1990 and 2005 − SO2 by 96 %, VOCs by 34 %, and NH3 by 70 % (Figure 8). During this period, the relative influence of the transport sector on nitrogen oxide emissions grew, while the influence of energy production fell by almost 50 %[1].

The 2020 outlook
Projected emissions in 2010
According to information submitted by Latvia on the National Emissions Ceilings Directive[1] in 2009, emission projections for 2010 are as follows:
Pollutants |
Latvian emission ceilings for 2010 (in kilotons) |
Emission projections for 2010 |
101 |
4 |
NOx |
61 |
45 |
136 |
55 |
44 |
14 |
The implementation of all current legislation on SO2, NOx, NH3 and VOC emissions, including measures taken within the framework of climate change policy, will enable Latvia to meet the 2010 emission ceilings for these pollutants.
Projected emissions in 2020
If effective reduction measures are implemented, it is assumed that by 2020 SO2 emissions will not exceed the European Commission's proposed ceilings for 2020 as there are no economic sectors in Latvia producing significant SO2 emissions.
Nevertheless, current studies show that it will be difficult to meet the proposed NOx and VOC emission ceilings for 2020, even if additional measures are implemented and prove to be effective.
The projection for NH3 emissions is that they will decrease but they could still exceed the emission ceilings for 2020 proposed by the European Commission. The level of NH3 emissions will largely depend on national environmental policy and the application of legislation relating to agriculture. However, the implementation of efficient NH3 emission reduction measures may be expensive.
It is assumed that emissions of PM2.5 will also exceed defined emission ceilings in 2020, which is why it will be necessary to put in place additional measures to reduce the emissions of PM2.5.
[1] Directive 201/81/EC of the European Parliament and the Council on National Emissions Ceilings for certain pollutants (the NEC Directive).
Existing and planned responses
Latvia has no significant problems with the implementation of current EU policy (IPPC Directive, Large Combustion Plants Directive and Directive 2001/81/EC on National Emission Ceilings). However, concentrations of particulate matter PM10 and nitrogen oxides in some Latvian cities − Riga metropolitan area and Liepāja − exceed the standards imposed in the Air Quality Directive.
The following measures are therefore planned at national level:
- the establishment of new techniques and sustainable use of resources, thereby achieving reductions in air pollutant emissions from energy and manufacturing industries, commercial and institutional services, households, transport and agriculture
- to coordinate the establishment of Best Available Techniques (BAT), environmentally-friendly techniques and cleaner production in the industrial sector
- the replacement of inefficient and outdated combustion plants for individual heating with more environmentally-friendly alternatives
- an increase in tax rates for air pollution emissions and the establishment of a tax on heavy duty vehicles (depending on the type of engine, age and emissions) is also under consideration
- to inform citizens, drivers and employers about air pollution and action to reduce it.
Related documents: Environmental Policy Strategy 2009–2015
At the local level, an air quality plan has been developed for the Riga metropolitan area. The 'Riga Action Programme for the Improvement of Air Quality 2004–2009' aims to achieve the air quality standards set out in the Air Quality Directive and describes measures to reduce PM10, NOx and benzene pollution in Riga.
In addition, measures have been taken to improve public transport in the city of Riga (Public Transport Development Concept 2005–2018 and to promote bicycle transport (Bicycle Development Concept as part of the Public Transport Development Concept for 2005–2018) and Riga City Bicycle Development Programme.

Famous Clocks Around The World – Strasbourg Astronomical Clock
The world is full of famous examples of clocks, usually massive towers such as Big Ben that stand not just to tell the time but also as a symbol of the area they're in. Big Ben, as an example, is more than a clock tower but also a symbol of London. However not all of the world's most famous clocks are such shining beacons on the cityscape or horizon. Sometimes the famous clocks sit under a roof and are nowhere near as large as Big Ben, but still manage to carry that same sense of grandeur when viewed by others, simply because whatever makes them famous is truly impressive.
The Third Generation
The Strasbourg Astronomical Clock, for example, is hardly a large clock. It sits in Strasbourg Cathedral and has so since the current one was completed in 1842. The current clock is actually the third one of its type to sit in that spot, showing that there is a long history behind the clocks in the Strasbourg Cathedral, and behind the clock itself that sits there, even if it is the third. Designs from the first two would clearly influence the third, while it's brought up to date with the modern standards at the time of its construction.
Most Complex In The World
But that is not the most impressive feature of the Strasbourg Astronomical clock. Even today, nearly two centuries after its initial construction, the Strasbourg Astronomical clock is still seen as one of the most complicated clocks in the world. Even aside from all of the automata that surround the clock, it bears several features such as a calendar, a map showing the position of the sun and the moon that still remains extremely accurate, and a device showing lunar and solar eclipses when they happen, all of which was put together in 1842, showing exactly how complicated it must really be that the machines still run accurately today with only maintenance to keep them running.
On top of all of the complicated clockwork that goes into running the clock there are several automatons that are triggered by various times, such as a processions of Christ and his apostles that occurs every day at half past midday, when an automated rooster crows three times. These things all run on their own mechanisms, much like the clock, and haven't been changed since the initial design, merely kept working through modern maintenance. It's quite the impressive feat when the amount of time and advancements in time keeping between the modern age and the construction of the clock are considered.

Redfin's monthly Chicago real estate insider report draws from our proprietary database of information on homes for sale and that just sold, along with insight from our agents to get a sense of what's going on in the market right now. If you'd like to receive the report via email, just sign up.
Hey There Chicago Redfinnians!
Heading into summer, inventory seems to be rising faster than the temperatures; both month-over-month and year-over-year inventories have increased dramatically. While many buyers are still sitting on the fence, worried about the double-dip in prices shown by the most recent Case-Shiller report, some are viewing the current low prices and interest rates as a signal to dive in head-first.
Lots of Chaff, Bits of Wheat
The chart below shows that inventory is up across the board, both compared to last month and this time last year. And yet, with all those homes out there, buyers are finding themselves in one competitive bidding situation after another. What's the deal with that?
County | Compared to April 2011 | Compared to May 2010 |
Cook County | +8.4% | +7.8% |
DuPage County | +11.2% | +8.3% |
Kane County | +9.0% | +13.3% |
Lake County | +9.7% | +4.1% |
McHenry County | +9.6% | +6.3% |
Will County | +11.0% | +10.0% |
Change in # of Houses for Sale on May 31st 2011
While there are plenty of homes on the market, there aren't enough good homes to go around, and buyers are starting to catch on to this latest mini-trend.
Cindy Hahn, one of Redfin's Chicago tour coordinators, has noticed buyers picking up the pace: "Clients are displaying a stronger sense of urgency; they want to view their top home picks as soon as possible."
Patrick Lusk, a Redfin Western Suburb Redfin Agent, concurs: "There has been plenty of talk about multiple offers on good properties. There's a mad dash to see the good one first."
So what about the rest of the inventory — the stuff nobody seems to want? Redfin Chicago agent Greg Whelan points out that these homes are stale, and that the fresh, high-quality, well-priced homes are much more limited in numbers.
That's the story with inventory: lots of homes, but the good ones go fast. Buyers who try to out-wait sellers have seen their plans backfire as other buyers swoop in with better offers. We're seeing more and more Redfin buyers stepping up to beat the competition to the punch. Does that mean we're seeing a rise in sales?
Sales Are Inching Up
In fact, the data does show a lift in transactions. While the market is still well below last year's sales numbers, May's transactions are substantially higher than April's, especially in DuPage and Kane Counties. Also, keep in mind that it's hard to compare this year's numbers to May 2010, because last year's federal home buyer tax credit was still in full swing. There's no such stimulus in place now.
County | Compared to April 2011 | Compared to April 2011 Adjusted for # Weekdays | Compared to May 2010 | Compared to May 2010 Adjusted for # Weekdays |
Cook County | +6.1% | +1.3% | -16.6% | -20.4% |
DuPage County | +18.9% | +13.5% | -14.9% | -18.8% |
Kane County | +21.8% | +16.2% | -17.0% | -20.7% |
Lake County | +8.8% | +3.9% | -6.0% | -10.3% |
McHenry County | +5.0% | +0.2% | -2.5% | -6.9% |
Will County | +4.0% | -0.7% | -37.6% | -40.5% |

The overall trend seems to be confirmed by what we're seeing internally. Redfin Chicago has just had a record run of offer submissions, including 39 offers during the first full week of June (compared to 13 during the comparable week of 2010).
Now, what about prices?
When we look at median price-per-square-foot for May, we see an increase since April.
County | Median Price in May 2011 |
Median $/SqFt Change since April 2011 |
Median $/SqFt Change since May 2010 |
Cook County | $160,000 | +0.8% | -13.4% |
DuPage County | $265,000 | +4.5% | -7.9% |
Kane County | $160,000 | +5.7% | -15.5% |
Lake County | $210,000 | +5.6% | -8.1% |
McHenry County | $169,900 | +3.6% | -14.9% |
Will County | $175,000 | -2.2% | -14.4% |
Change in Median Price of Houses That Sold in May 2011
At first, this might appear at odds with the May 31st Case-Shiller index, which claimed that prices were down month-over-month. But remember, the Case-Shiller is always two months behind; the May 31st report reflects trends through March 31st. It remains to be seen how the numbers compare on subsequent updates.

Samaya Bura Samui Guest Reviews (1)
Hotel is relatively nice. One big problem is that it is located very close to the main road and if you get a room at the front of the hotel it is very noisey. Restaurant and bar are very expensive in comparison to down town Lamai. Cost 100THB to get to Lamai center with those red buses after bargaining.

After cheerleading practice, Megan (Natasha Lyonne) makes out with Jared (Brandt Wille) but has other things on her mind.

Screenwriter: Brian Wayne Peterson, Jamie Babbit
Film Description: In this satire, parents who are worried that their children might not be walking the straight and narrow path discover a rehabilitation camp designed to curb alternative lifestyles. Megan (Natasha Lyonne), a high school student and member of the cheerleading squad, seems like an ordinary enough teenage girl, but her habit of honestly expressing herself and lack of romantic enthusiasm for her boyfriend convince her very repressed parents, Peter (Bud Cort) and Nancy (Mink Stole), that Megan is becoming a lesbian. So Megan is shipped off to True Directions, a camp for gay and gay-leaning teens, where Mary Brown (Cathy Moriarty) attempts to deprogram kids with homosexual tendencies. The first step in the process is to get each teen to admit to their homosexuality, which Megan is loath to do, since she doesn't believe she's a lesbian -- or at least she didn't think so before she met her new friend Graham (Clea DuVall), who seems quite sure that she likes girls. Meanwhile, Mary's son Rock (Eddie Cibrian) may be exempt from the camp's activities, but he turns more than a few heads among True Directions' male inmates. Noted female impersonator RuPaul appears as a camp guide, and Julie Delpy has a cameo as a "lipstick lesbian."

Where is Shaheen's fire in the belly?
Monday, August 25, 2014
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's re-election team may want to rethink her campaign strategy in light of the most recent WMUR Granite State Poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.
It can be argued Shaheen is trying to take the high road, and is letting others do her dirty work — not an uncommon tactic.
But in the name of the bipartisanship Shaheen appears to want, the senator needs to condemn Reid's complicity in the legislative stalemate. |

By Web Intern in General on Sep 01, 2009
Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann asks fellow Republicans to go into full-on overdrive. At a Denver conference she said, 'we should slit our wrists to join as blood brothers' against health care reform.' Eh hem...WTF? Does Bachmann realize that one can become blood 'brothers' (or sisters, or friends) by just having a paper cut on one's finger? or a scratch on the knee? Why did she say Republicans should slit their wrists? This sounds a lot like 'live free or die', only it's private insurance or death!
Her stance on President Obama's health care reform is so strong that Bachmann went on to say that his idea is like 'reaching down the throat and ripping the guts out of freedom.' Ew...I hope freedom had it coming. -dahlia

It's not often that you see two Android OEM's taking shots at each other. It's especially odd to see the Google owned Motorola go after the biggest reason why Android is so popular right now. Motorola has just launched an ad that pits the Samsung Galaxy S 3 against the Motorola DROID RAZR HD. The company claims that you'll get better speeds on their device than you would with the Galaxy S 3 which is odd in itself. There are tons of variables that can sway this outcome and it isn't really an accurate depiction of what you can expect to get from both devices in the same place in any given area.
Motorola even goes as far as poking fun at the design and build quality of the SGS3 and says the battery on the RAZR MAXX HD lasts 30% longer which isn't a surprise to anyone. Most people might see this as a bad thing but not me. I've been waiting for this day for so long. Motorola is essentially making a statement that the iPhone is irrelevant and it isn't the biggest competitor to the RAZR. Samsung whoever, is the current king of smartphones and its finally time for Android to compete with itself until a new viable competitor emerges if that ever happens.

Re:One of these things is not like the others. (167 comments)
Excellent, I'll risk providing nourishment for a troll just *once* more to show how this particular layfolk has illustrated my point. Psychologists are hardly at all related to psychiatrists, making that an ill-posed analogy. One branch of psychology is "clinical psychology". That branch deals with analysis and such and is what most people think of as "Psychology", and is indeed related to psychiatry. The rest of psychology, however, has nothing at all to do with that. So, the completion to the analogy may well be "lobsters".
Re:One of these things is not like the others. (167 comments)
For those reading who aren't trolls: If you happen to think this way, then your definition of psychology probably comes from elementary school, TV, or a college intro course (which too often amounts to about the same thing). There are many branches of psychology; the least scientific of which seem to be the most well known to layfolk. Although I do agree that some fMRI studies of the brain can be pretty close to phrenology.
Re:Yes, Thank Turing We're Not the Media Hype Mach (293 comments)
In fact, the assumption that cognition is computational or mechanistic is where the mind-body problem comes from (right from the 17th century). If it's all just syntactic, then explaining semantics is now a problem, and you have problems like dualism. Non-algorithmic doesn't mean magic, by any stretch. If you don't assume algorithmic, then there is no mind-body separation about which you can have a dualist stance.
If you think that the universe in general is algorithmic, e.g. that the evolution of the sun is an algorithmic process, then we might easily only disagree about terminology. Those who do not follow computational theories of mind might say that the complexities of intelligent behavior are more like the complexities of the sun than anything you will get out of a turing machine.
There are a frightening number of different issues once we go into details, and there is a long history of people attempting to address them. I don't think a slashdot thread is capable of holding it all. And of course, the more one learns the more one realizes that the answers are far fewer than the questions.
Re:Yes, Thank Turing We're Not the Media Hype Mach (293 comments)
You're making a *huge* assumption that humans operate algorithmically, which is exactly the problem being discussed in the debate between Searle, Dennett, Haugeland, and others. Getting a handle on "understanding", or more specifically the origin of meaning, is the larger question that these folks are addressing. So you're entirely correct about needing more than intuition, and that is what people have been trying to do using these means for many, many years.
Re:We don't use sudo? (592 comments)
That's funny, using sudo for administration always makes me think of ubuntu, speaking of noobs in the basement.
Seriously though, I don't like giving a regular/admin user easy access to root like that. If my user password is compromised by some means, the sudo thing means root is also compromised. I'd rather have the authentication and environment separation.

All NAT devices have a stateful firewall; tracking state is how NAT can happen at all. If you remove NAT, you are still left with a firewall with rules to deny inbound connections unless initiated from inside.
That is, the security you're talking about is not provided by NAT, but by the firewall underneath NAT. That's not going anywhere.

Women In Guilds {WoW}
Aug 9th 2006 6:04AM i have to say i've been in some amazing guilds. both in wow and other mmo's. no i'm not naive about how i've been treated. since most female toons are played by men/boys and most men/boys know that, i've been treated as just another player. i don't let my sex be known until i've developed a raport and respect from my guildmates/friends.
as a female in real life, i might get special treatment. but as a gamer, i have the experience to say i am treated as a gamer - both online and irl. i believe if you are or are pretending to be female just to get perks, you are only equal to the prostitute hanging around the four-corners of your town at 2 in the morning.
have some respect for yourself and pride in your skill and you will find that anything you do will be more rewarding.

barbara 52 (where HAS she gone to?) gave us a fabulous recipe for frozen lemon creme sandwiches, that i fell in love with! i have made that as posted but several times, skipped the cookie wafers and simply poured the lemon curd and creme fraiche into glasses and chilled them and served the mixture that way.
i LOVE lemon but raspberries are my very favorite fruit and cindy (ny) sent me a recipe for raspberry curd to try out. i wanted to modify it it a bit so i didn't kill ted off instantly (the final dessert contains not only eggs, but butter, sour cream AND cream!) and guess i really need to save it for friends who aren't in danger of keeling over at the first 200 milligrams of cholesterol, but i just loved it! FABULOUS stuff and thank you cindy--it really is a certifiable treat! Raspberry or Lemon Curd
1 pint container raspberries, about 2 cups (see note for lemon)
Puree the raspberries in a food processor and put them in a pan with the butter and sugar. Heat gently, stirring constantly, until the ingredients are melted and combined. Let them cool to tepid, then stir in the eggs.
*** my modifications--
Here is a link that might be useful: dessert AND pie!
Follow-Up Postings:
This sounds like heaven!! I ate raspberries as a child as fast as I could pick them and still adore them beyond common sense. Eager to make your adaptation. And the picture!! Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!! |
